This is because capital of Newcastle and Saudi Arabia are linked. The four teams - Al Nasr, Al Hilal, Al Itihad, and Al Ahli - are managed by the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia. Newcastle is also a member of the PIF. PIF has assets of 343 billion pounds (522.843 trillion won).

For this reason, it has been argued that Newcastle and Saudi Arabia's four teams can freely operate player exchanges. At one point, it was reported that Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nasr) could be loaned to Newcastle and return to the UEFA Champions League (UCL).

Michael Emenalo, head of recruitment for the Saudi Arabian League, strongly refuted the claim. "I have no such plan."

"I can't speak for PIF because there are people in PIF who are much smarter than me and understand the situation well. But I don't think these arguments will be made realistically," Emenalo told Sky Sports in the U.K.

"What is clear is that if Saudi clubs want players, they will listen to them. It's the same thing that Saudi clubs want Fulham or Burnley and they want Newcastle players. Whether it's a club owned by PIF or someone else owned, if there's a player they want, we can discuss it," he added.

"This is a general phenomenon regarding the soccer transfer market. It can no longer be meaningful. The perception that there is a link between the four Saudi Arabian teams and Newcastle has made this claim. It ignores the independence of the league and the decision-making of its players," he stressed.

In general, if a player who plays in the Saudi Arabian league goes to Newcastle, it can be a good situation. This is because it opens up the opportunity to play in the world's best league and the world's most popular league. You can also raise your value and awareness.

But the reality is different, Emenalo argues. It's the exact opposite. Rather, Saudi Arabia's players don't want to go to Newcastle. Why? It's money, too. That's because you don't get that kind of money in Europe.

"It will cost a lot of money to recruit players from Saudi Arabia's league, which is probably why Saudi players don't want to go to Newcastle," he said. Ronaldo's annual salary is 200 million euros (284.8 billion won), the highest in the world. Karim Benzema (Al-Itihad) and Neymar (Al-Hilal) are making similar salaries. They will never get paid in Europe.
